Kevin Smith. He seems like a regular guy and talking movies, comix and TV old and new would be a real hoot. ---

Kyra Cobbler come on over, I love her IG - she’s Irish stand up comedian, though hell would have to freeze over first so I’d have to go Ireland 👍 ---

> [@Sitnam](#): > > It has to be a living celebrity and they won’t do anything … sexual Well, I lost interest at this point. Having recently watched _The Good Place_, I would have nominated Kristen Bell. 😉 On a more serious note, I’d love to have dinner with Lawrence Krauss or Sean Carroll, or both – OMG, all the stupid questions I have about quantum physics that could be so eloquently answered! ---

> [@FairyChatMom](#): > > Neil deGrasse Tyson - just to hang out and talk about stuff. Maybe bring my granddaughter along because she’s a little STEM whiz and I’d like to see their interaction. Unfortunately, Tyson has been known to be a real condescending/arrogant jerk to many of his fans, including students. So…you’d have to prep your granddaughter for the possibility that he’ll be in sneering-pompous mode. ---

Anna Kendrick. She seems like she gets into crazy hilarious situations so I’d be along for the ride and just take a lot of selfies with her so I could prove I was there. And maybe we’d sing karaoke together, because that would be fun until she asked me to please stop singing. ---

**Mark Harmon** Hang out, talk sports, and watch a College World Series (CWS) baseball game. Always held each June in Omaha Nebraska. Mark was a college quarterback and part owner of a minor league baseball team. Seems like someone I’d connect with.
